Today we kicked off the new judging season with a Winter Workout by a few of our alumni!! Placing beef and sheep and practing reasons were on the agenda with some of that mid-west flare. Thankful to have past members willing to share their knowledge with the next generation of livestock judges!

Consider donating to Huntingdon County 4-H! This will help future kids with expenses traveling to national contests. So far since 2019 our team has competed in 5 national contests: 3 Skillathons, 1 Quiz Bowl, and 1 Judging Contest! Thank you!

Join me and make a gift to GivingTuesday 2025.

Giving Tuesday is coming up, and this year we are supporting the PA 4-H Animal Science Knowledge Teams Endowment!

For decades, the Endowment has supported 4-H'ers who represent Pennsylvania at national events, like 4-H alum Stephanie (Bowman) McGargle of Huntingdon County.

Stephanie says, "My confidence in livestock knowledge grew with the help of my coaches and 4-H leaders. Adventuring out of my comfort zone of the sheep world helped me gain appreciation for the beef and swine industries which led to me pursuing a degree in animal science at Penn State...Traveling to various contests around the country made memories I still look fondly on today. As my focus on animal science shifted to the growing poultry industry, I realized the foundation the livestock and meats judging programs instilled in me produced opportunities far greater than I ever imagined. Today, I am blessed to be one of the coaches of the Huntingdon County 4-H Livestock Judging team where I can pass the knowledge I learned as a 4-H member and Penn State student on to the next generation...Thank you for considering your support of Pennsylvania 4-H Judging Teams!"

When you support 4-H on Giving Tuesday, your gift will ensure that future generations of 4-H'ers can have the same life-changing experiences that Stephanie had.

Mark your calendar for December 2, and remember to support PA 4-H on Giving Tuesday!

A fantastic trip to the home of the green shavings for Huntingdon County! We are excited to have met our goal of having Pennsylvania called out by placing as 10th team in Quality Assurance. 🏅

Who knew we had to travel 8 hours to have an inpromptu meet up with team alumni at NAILE. As well as have some call to check up on them after the contest! Lifetime memories are made on the trips to Nationals.

🥩 Thank you to The Meat Pirate, Brian “Norm” McAllister, for insisting for 6 years that we take the team members to celebrate their success at Brazeiros Steakhouse in downtown Louisville and partnering with Winterside Farm to purchase their meal!

🎄 Lights under “Lou-Ville” got the team in the holiday spirit and brought cheer inside the van. We highly recommend this great attraction to anyone in The Ville area in November or December.

Thanks to an anonymous supporter for making sure they have a good meal the third day. We ventured downtown to have dinner and enjoyed a team building exercise at an escape room, which we broke out in above average time! But not without screams, scares, stress, silliness, and having the first baby to participate!

🍀 Thank you to everyone who has supported the team! We couldn’t do it without the support, time, financial support, and encouragement from the kids, parents, and community. A special shout out to Huntingdon County 4-H, Pennsylvania 4-H, and the Pennsylvania Livestock Assocation for their substantial financial contributions.
